Hello everyone! Yes, we're finally back. It's been a long while, as we've both been insanely busy, but with the new year we are fully back with the podcast. We recorded this discussion with Lee, also known as u/Loleeeee (now a mod on the subreddit!), almost a year ago now. It was a great wrap up of Memories of Ice. We hope to be on a twice weekly episode schedule for a little bit to get rid of some of our backlog of episodes, and then continue on with weekly episodes. We hope you all enjoy!

We are finally releasing the final episode of Memories of Ice! Laughs, heartbreak, sadness, grief, and more!

It's the ending of Memories of Ice, and you all know what that means... well maybe you don't so I won't put it in the description but suffice it to say it overshadows the entire episode and kinda sorta not really made Matt wanna quit the podcast. It's a fun time!

There are several big revelations and things are setting up for the climactic finish. But more importantly, we award Whiskeyjack People's "Sexiest Man of the Year" award and complain about the constant flood of sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes in Hollywood.

The Second Gathering happens, attended by wise Kruppe. We do some math, vote for Whiskeyjack for president (with Korlat as Vice President and First Lady of course), and gush over Itkovian because he's just so awesome.

Sorry about the long wait! Life has been crazy, but we're back with our longest episode yet. We see the Siege of Capustan (one of the greatest sequences ever written by the way), Quick Ben gets up to some hijinks, and we learn what catch-22 means.

The siege of Capustan begins! We also learn what the difference between a potion and an elixir is and learn some more about the ever enigmatic Kruppe. Oh, and the K'Chain Che'malle exposition dump is pretty cool too.

There's a lot that happens in these chapters! Paran, the Mhybe, and Toc are all depressed as hell lol. We also make fun of the US measurement system (as it deserves) and Erikson gives us the best romantic scene of the series so far!

This is a very weird episode! We recorded these two chapters a few weeks apart due to the holidays, and also Chapter 8 is not included! We had a discussion about that chapter over on D&J's Epic Quest because our Malazan journeys merged at that spot, so to get our thoughts on that chapter you can go over there and check them out! They've been going chapter by chapter through the series and are some seriously fun gents, and it was a blast talking with them.

We're finally to the incredible Chapter 5. We get a whole ton of information about the T'lan Imass, Caladan Brood, the Tiste Andii, and so on. We see a meeting between the Malazans and their enemy. We rejoin the illustrious and magnificent Kruppe. And if that weren't enough, in Chapter 6 we get the dinosaurs with swords for arms that were one of the selling points Nate used to get Matt to read Malazan.
